Louis Farrakhan is not a Muslim He’s a racist who uses misleading blasphemy and hate for personal gain. Can you see someone like that working for a living? So what does he do? Uses the Muslim religion and distorts it. Even Malcom X seperated himself from him.
For instance he says only blacks are Muslims. Muslims religion like other religions isn’t a personal race. He uses hate and partial truths and is nothing but a bad actor.

democrats cozying up to farrakhan and other radical muslims will not go over well with the american jewish community. american jews are not a large part of the democratic party base, but they are influential far beyond their numbers. particularly among the media.

the leadership of the party of the jackass has been captured by the party’s left wing which pulls the party ever leftward – away from the center where the majority resides. this is a recipe for disaster for the jackasses.

so far, it has cost them the white house, the house and senate, the preponderance of the state legislatures and governorships, and is on the cusp of costing them the courts. unless they make some fundamental changes, their continued existence as a meaningful force in american politics is in question.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of trading insults and threats of nuclear annihilation, President Donald Trump agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jung Un by May to negotiate an end to Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program, South Korean and U.S. officials said Thursday. No American president has ever met with a North Korea leader.

The South Korean national security director, Chung Eui-yong, told reporters outside the White House of the planned summit, after briefing Trump and other top U.S. officials about a rare meeting with Kim in the North Korean capital on Monday.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım threatened not only hydrocarbon survey ships of oil giant Exxon Mobile but also the US 6th Fleet is participating in a naval exercise in the area 7-18 March 2018.

Why did you lose the trade wars? Out of niceness? Or is it that when you make survival difficult for people they are forced to buy cheaper imported products even if they do not want to, leaving local manufacturers unable to compete?

**********************************

America didn’t lose the trade wars. They never fought it to begin with. The big multinationals and Wall Street lobbied Congress to eliminate tarrifs so they could move production offshore to countries with cheap labor. Congress happily complied and created the current lopsided environment. Trump is absolutely right in trying to correct that imbalance.

*********************************

i agree with your second question. Politicians have been saying for years that trade and budget deficits don’t matter. They don’t matter until they do. That is when the markets wake up and realize that the debt is so huge and even with interest rates near zero, can never be paid off. Confidence in the US dollar will collapse and import prices will go through the roof, and will create far more hardship than any tarrifs will.

******************************

I think you have it backwards. What’s leaking is world wide deflation – race to the bottom in terms of cost of production. Because that’s all this ‘free trade’ really is – win for the cheapest provider. Is it any surprise that China has been winning that race – as it produces goods below the real cost of production?

Let China eat its own deflationary tail.

***********************************

The tarrif on steel is just the very small tip of a very big iceberg. It is a step in the right direction. If anything it sets the tone that Trump is not messing around and will give the administration far more leverage in negotiating new trade deals that actually benefit America.
